I just finished reading your blog. What an amazing little girl you have! She is absolutely gorgeous! You seem to be handling things very well and that is so inspiring. It's never easy, I know. But it sounds like she will be home soon. Ah and what a wonderful day that will be. Please keep us posted! Take care.

Your little girl is beautiful and she's a fighter! It's amazing how small babies can be born nowadays. I was born 3 months early weighing 1 1/2 pounds and only 8 inches long back in 1990. I pretty much had a very low survival rate back then. It's amazing how much that survival rate for premature infants has risen since then.

SORRY IF ANYONE WAS WORRYING. MELANI IS FINE. SHE HAD HER SURGERY ON 6.12.09. I CHANGED HER BLOG SITE URL. I TOOK OFF THE "08" ON THE END BECAUSE PEOPLE WERE FORGETTING THAT AND GETTING ALL CONFUSED. SO THE NEW LINK IS WITHOUT 08 ON THE END.

I just visited your blog. She is absolutely beautiful and definately a true NICU Warrior. I have infinite connection to all preemies, but 23 weekers pull at my heartstrings as my daugter to was born at 23 weeks. I pray for nothing but good progress for your little girl while in the NICU and post NICU too! Enjoy her!
